Michael Chandler Endorses Infamous Conor McGregor Meme Amidst Massive Injury Revelation Pre-UFC 274 Fight

The mega-card of UFC 274 delivered on all fronts offering breathtaking KOs, and submissions with the exception of the co-main. Despite being away from the sport for over a year, Conor McGregor was name-dropped on multiple instances. First up, it was Michael Chandler who called the Irishman out, following his KO win over Tony Ferguson. Later on, Charles Oliveira followed the same routine and extended an invitation to the Notorious one.

McGregor offered responses to both fighters, but his interest leaned towards the 170lbs division. This makes Michael Chandler the leading name, as his callout involved the welterweight division. Despite securing a massive KO, Chandler didn’t walk away from UFC 274 unscathed. The American mixed martial artist seems to have once again dislocated his finger.
